Description

Injection blow molding machine and stretch blow molding method

Plastic containers

description

The invention relates to a Spritzblasmaschine specified in the preamble of claim 1. Art and a method specified in the preamble of claim 14 Art.

In a known from DE 197 37 697 A Spritzblasmaschine the transfer rotor two injection rotors are assigned, which are supplied from a common extruder with plasticized plastic and each contain a plurality of individual mold cavities. The total number of mold cavities in both spray rotors corresponds to the number of blow molds on the blower rotor. One spray rotor is rotated while the other is stationary. In the standing spray rotor, the preforms are injected, while the rotating other spray rotor transmits the finished preforms individually via the transfer rotor to the blowing rotor. Before transfer, the preforms are cooled in the spray rotor. The temperature or temperature distribution in each preform can be conditioned by tempering until the blowing process. In the single-stage process carried out in the injection blow molding machine, the blowing cycle time is considerably shorter than the cycle time for producing and tempering the preforms. Since the total number of mold cavities corresponds to the number of injection molds, it is difficult to optimally utilize the performance of the blower rotor. In addition, the energy input for the subsequent conditioning of the preforms is high.

BESTÄTΪGLJNGSKOPIE In one injection blow molding machine known from DE 31 24 523 C, a central injection molding rotor containing a plurality of mold nests and having a supply through a single extruder is assigned a total of four blowing rotors for groupwise stretch blow molding of the containers.

It is known from US Pat. No. 3,357,046 A to assign a rotary extruder arrangement to stationary blow molds, to form the preforms by separating from one strand, and to fill them immediately with the later container contents and to transform them into the containers.

In the stretch blow molding machine known from DE 195 28 695 A, two injection mold units each having a plurality of mold cavities are movable relative to injection cylinders in a spraying station. The preform groups are pulled out of the mold cavities in the direction of their longitudinal axes and then transferred transversely to blow molding groups. The preform group can be transferred and inserted into the blow molding group with a transfer tool containing a plurality of neck moldings, or the transfer tool between the injection mold unit and the blow mold groups is exchanged for another blow mold neck mold for a plurality of preforms simultaneously. The finished containers are removed from the neck molds and removed.

The invention has for its object to provide an injection blow molding machine and a method for stretch blow molding of plastic containers, especially bottles, with which a high output and high quality plastic container can be achieved continuously and in one stage. Part of the job is, in spite of the opposite Blaszykluszeit longer injection cycle time to use the possible output of the blast rotor optimal.

The art of making each preform in the neck mold, to transfer in the neck molding, to form the plastic container in the same neck molding, and to take this also with the neck molding, and thereby perform the movement steps substantially parallel to the work plane, reduces the expenditure on equipment and ensures that the possibly sensitive preforms and also the plastic containers are not damaged during manipulations. The neck moldings are in addition to form functional components and individual components of the transfer and removal system.

The object is achieved with respect to the device with the features of claim 1 and procedurally with the features of claim 14.

The process can proceed continuously because the neck moldings not only have a molding function in injection molding and stretch blow molding, but also a transfer and removal function. This considerably simplifies the handling after the production of the preforms and after the stretch blow molding of the plastic containers, and results in a high quality of the preforms and the later plastic containers.

Although in the injection blow molding machine the rotors run continuously and synchronously, the discharge from containers from the blowing rotor is not limited by the longer injection cycle times, but the possible output capacity of the blowing rotor can be optimally used, since thanks to the excess number of mold cavities in an expedient embodiment continuously as many Preforms are made that of Blasrotor works with optimal output. In addition, each preform is transferred relatively quickly to the blow mold and thus has an optimum temperature and / or temperature distribution for stretch blow molding. Further, the time between manufacture and stretch blow molding is the same length for each preform.

Despite the continuous production of individual preforms, each with a longer injection cycle time than the blowing cycle time, the blowing rotor can be operated at full output in a convenient process variant since the majority of the produced Performs compensates for the time difference between the blowing cycle time and the injection cycle time.

In an expedient embodiment, the number of injection molding units corresponds to the number of blow molding on the blowing rotor. However, each injection molding unit has more than one mold cavity so as to obtain an excess number of preforms in spite of the continuous operation, as is appropriate for the optimum utilization of the blowing rotor output. The control of each injection molding unit is structurally simple and can use the rotational movement of the spray rotor. In the transfer position, the mold cavity is opened, so that the finished preform is removed and transferred with the neck molding and the preform can continue to set or relax since it is only in contact with the still tempered neck molding and is not contacted by any other manipulation element.

In an expedient embodiment, each injection molding unit comprises three divided injection molds, which are star-shaped on an intermittently rotatable relative to the injection rotor Shaft are arranged. Each mold forms a mold cavity for the production of a preform. The shaft performs only a partial revolution with each full rotation of the spray rotor to offer a finished preform for transfer. At the same time, for a further preform of the same injection-molding unit, a holding-pressure phase is provided, which is important for the quality of the preform, and for a still further preform a not particularly limited injection-molding process is possible. In this way, a mutual coordination between the injection cycle times and the blowing cycle times is achieved, such that even in the continuous process, despite the shorter injection cycle time, the full output capacity of the blowing rotor can be utilized.

Each injection molding unit in the injection rotor is assigned its own plasticizing screw rotating with the injection rotor. Preferably, furthermore, at least one injection cylinder which can be supplied by the plasticizing screw is provided. It is possible to use an injection cylinder for each mold cavity, or for the mold cavities of the injection molding unit, a common injection cylinder, which is filled with plastic from the plasticizing screw and brings a precise vorbestimtme dose with high pressure in the mold cavity. There is a functional separation of functions, because the plasticizing screw for the supply and the optimal degree of plasticization, whereas the injection cylinder for the correct dose and the correct injection pressure.

With regard to a compact, low design, the plasticizing screws are substantially parallel to the working plane and radially to the axis of the spray rotor. They are supplied centrally from a common material distributor with the plastic material. In an expedient embodiment, each mold cavity is formed by an injection mold with two mold halves, the split or opening neck mold part and a mandrel. One mold half, and preferably the mandrel, may be fixed relative to the shaft of the injection molding unit, while the other mold half is pivotally mounted on the one mold half or mold support half. As usual, means can be used to fix the injection mold during the injection process or to lock.

The neck mold part entrusted with the injection and blow molding function and the transfer and removal function expediently has an internal thread in order to form a threaded neck, and preferably, at least one annular groove for molding a container neck retaining ring, as is customary, for example, for PET bottles. However, neck moldings of a different shape can also be used, depending on the type of plastic container produced. So neck moldings with smooth inner wall and / or bead moldings for other closures are used.

In an expedient embodiment, the neck molding carries on the outside and on top of each other two guide cones. An upper guide cone is provided for the attack of the transfer and removal elements, while a lower guide cone for positioning and fixing the neck molding in the mold cavity or in the blow mold is used.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the injection blow molding machine, the transfer rotor and the removal motor are superimposed and coaxially combined in a single rotor. This reduces the space requirement in the injection blower. An important aspect here is that curve controls are provided for the transfer and removal elements, which control an alternate overhaul function for the transfer and removal elements. The transfer and removal elements are expediently extendable and retractable and optionally swivelable pairs of clips, each clip is either spring-biased and automatically opens and closes when attacking the respective element, or it is controlled to open and close brackets.

An expedient embodiment of the injection blow molding machine with optimum ejection has eight blow molds on the blower rotor, eight injection molding units each with three injection molds on the injection rotor, four transfer elements on the transfer rotor, and four removal elements on the removal rotor. The rotors are driven so that the mold cavity, each clamp, and each blow mold located in the transfer position move at approximately the same peripheral speed.

In addition, it is expedient to provide for opening or closing each neck molding control means, preferably cam controls on the transfer or in the removal motor. In this case, each neck molding is only opened when the finished plastic container is removed, and then immediately closed again to be introduced into the mold cavity. Optionally, the neck molding is introduced even in the open state in the open mold cavity and closed only with the closing of the mold cavity.

In order to ensure a clean transfer of the finished plastic container to a discharge conveyor, it is expedient for temporary securing and discharging each Plastic container to provide a mandrel which is at least partially inserted into the container neck and expandable therein, when the plastic container supplying necking part is opened. But it would also be possible to grip the container bottom side, or otherwise, as soon as the neck mold part is opened.

In a favorable process variant, each mold cavity is placed during a full rotation of the spray rotor from an injection position initially over a third turn in a Nachdruckposition. It then takes place a pressing or setting of the plastic in the mold cavity in order to form the preform optimal. The mold cavity may be temporarily stopped in the reprint position, but need not be. Over the next full revolution of the spray rotor, the mold cavity is rotated over a third turn to a transfer position and opened, such that when meeting a transfer element, the preform with the closed neck mold part removed from the mold cavity and quickly transferred to the blow mold. Over the next full revolution of the spray rotor then the mold cavity is closed again and placed in the spray position. In the spray position, the closed and locked mold cavity on the rotating spray rotor can be temporarily stopped while the spray rotor continues to rotate.

In a further variant of the method, the respective neck-shaped part is transferred from the mold cavity by a clamp of a combined transfer and removal motor or removed from the blow mold. It is provided on the combined rotor in each case a pair of brackets, wherein the pair of brackets is controlled in the rotor rotation direction such that a rear bracket in the circumferential direction of the other front bracket Paares when transferring, and even when removing once each outdated, between the positions of the injection and blowing rotors. With this overtaking step, the first leading clamp with the neck molding and the preform held in it is transferred from the empty clamp, which has introduced the neck molding in the mold cavity during transfer, so that the empty clamp then leading the closed neck molding with the finished plastic container from the Tear blow mold before then introduces the trailing clamp with the preform preform with the neck molding. Similarly, between the blowing rotor and the injection rotor, the first leading clamp with the neck mold part and the plastic container is overtaken by the empty clamp, which transferred the preform into the blow mold, so that the leading empty clamp then removes the neck mold part with the preform from the mold cavity, before the bracket with the then the

Plastic containers discharged neck molding this brings in the mold cavity. The overtaking operations are easily controllable, but allow the use of a combined transfer and removal engine instead of two separate and separately driven and controlled transfer and removal engines.

Finally, according to the method, the injection molding unit rotation on the still rotating injection rotor is temporarily interrupted at least in the injection and transfer positions of each mold cavity so that the injection process and the transfer process take place in a cleanly controlled manner. However, it is also conceivable to slow down the injection molding unit rotation only temporarily, or even to continue it continuously. The neck molding is expediently assigned an even more function in the blow mold by being used to attach the tuyere. This means that the blowing nozzle seals on the neck molding, for which corresponding sealing measures are provided on the blowing nozzle and / or on the neck molding, and for this purpose the preform is not used and, if necessary, damaged. This means an increase in flexibility in blow molding.

In Fig. 1 of an injection molding machine M for producing plastic containers F, especially PET bottles, from preforms R without detailed attention to drives and ancillary equipment, a spray rotor S, a spaced therefrom Blasrotor B and with the rotors S, B cooperating transfer and Removal motors E shown. The rotors S, B, T, E operate substantially in a common working plane to which the axes of the rotors are substantially perpendicular. At the injection rotor S, for example, eight injection molding units 1 are arranged at uniform circumferential distances. The blowing rotor B also has eight blow molds 11. Each transfer and removal motor T, E has four transfer or removal elements 8, 9, 15, 16, 18.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, each injection molding unit 1 comprises three star-shaped injection molds Ia, Ib and Ic attached to a shaft 6 on the spray rotor S, each of which defines a mold cavity 2 for producing a preform R. Each injection molding unit 1 is assigned a plasticizing screw P in the injection rotor S. The plasticizing screws P rotate with the injection rotor and are lying and arranged substantially radially and are supplied by a central material distributor 7. Each injection mold Ia, Ib, Ic is in a direction to the axis of the spray rotor S Divided parallel plane, so that two mold halves 4, 5 arise, which are pivotable relative to each other, optionally in a mold carrier. An important part of the mold cavity 2 is a split neck molding 3, which is also divided.

The transfer elements 8, 9 on the transfer rotor T are at least in the direction of a double arrow 10 extendable or retractable brackets for gripping only the respective neck molding 3. The brackets can be spring-biased and open when attaching to the neck molding 3 open or close, or they are opened controlled and closed.

Each blow mold 11 on Blasrotor B is also divided and has two mold halves 12, 13 and only indicated by dashed lines bottom mold 14. Each blow mold 11 cooperates with a blowing nozzle not indicated in FIG.

The removal elements 15, 16 on the removal motor E are also at least in the direction of a double arrow 17 reciprocable brackets, similar to those on the transfer rotor T. In addition, mandrels 18 are provided whose purpose and function will be explained later. The extraction motor E cooperates with a drain 19 (e.g., removal belt or air conveyor) for the finished plastic containers F. The directions of rotation of the rotors are highlighted by arrows.

The three injection molds Ia, Ib, Ic are rotatable with the shaft 6 in Fig. 1 and 2 in each case by a third rotation relative to the injection rotor S, while the injection rotor rotates over a full revolution. In this way, each injection mold Ia, Ib, Ic over three full revolutions of the spray rotor S between a spray position I, a reprint position II and a transfer position III further rotated. This rotation can be continuous or intermittent.

As the rotors rotate continuously and in the blowing rotor B, utilizing the full discharge capacity, the individual plastic containers F are stretch blown and formed, in the injection rotor S, e.g. one compared to the number of blow molds 11 on Blasrotor B larger number Preforms R produced. Each preform R lingers e.g. longer than one full turn on the spray rotor S, e.g. over three full revolutions, so that despite the shorter cycle time as usual for the stretch blow molding of the plastic container F with respect to the cycle time for the injection molding of the preform, the output of the blow rotor B is not limited by the longer cycle time for the injection molding of the preforms.

Fig. 2 illustrates the arrangement of the three injection molds Ia, Ib, Ic on the shaft 6. In Fig. 2 is otherwise indicated that each in plan view approximately square injection mold could be divided diametrically into the mold halves 4, 5. The shaft 6 is anchored in the injection rotor S and is driven by a controller 21 stepwise or continuously in the ratio 1: 3 to the rotation of the spray rotor S. That is, at three full revolutions of the spray rotor S, the injection molding unit 1 performs a 360 ° rotation over three-thirds rotations. In this case, each mold cavity 2 is opened at the transfer position III, so that the preform R is ready with the closed neck mold part 2 for removal from the mold cavity 2. At least one of the mold halves 4, 5 may be fixedly attached to the shaft 6, while the other mold half on the one mold half or on can be pivotally mounted on a mold carrier, not shown. The rotation control 21 of the shaft 6 can also control the opening and closing movements of the injection molds Ia, Ib and Ic.

3 shows a section through the injection mold 1a perpendicular to the mold part plane 24. The mold cavity 2 in the mold halves 4, 5 is formed with the shape of the preform and has an injection opening 25 at the bottom. In an upper region of the mold cavity 2 is a circumferential conical receptacle 26 formed, which serves for positioning and fixing the neck molding 3. The neck molding 3 is also openable in the molding plane 24 and comprises two shells 25 having an internal thread 30 and e.g. a circumferential annular groove 27 (for the retaining ring of the container neck). On the outer periphery of the shells, an upper guide cone 28 for engaging the transfer and removal elements, and a lower guide cone 29 for insertion into the groove 26 (and a corresponding groove in the respective blow mold 11 or in a blow mold carrier) are formed on top of each other.

The neck mold part 3 serves on the one hand for forming the mouth region of the preform R, on the other hand for shaping the plastic container F, and in addition to transferring the preform or removing the plastic container. Another function of the neck molding 3 may be that it cooperates with the tuyere of the blow mold, which is applied directly to the neck mold part 3.

Fig. 4 shows the procedure when removing the finished plastic container F from the Blasrotor R. Each plastic container F is removed with the closed neck molding 3 from the blow mold and along the removal motor e brought to the discharge conveyor 19. During this movement, the removal element 16 holds the closed neck molding 3 until the plastic container F is aligned with a follower mandrel 18, on whose shaft 32 at the bottom an expandable head 33 is arranged. The head 33 is inserted through a cam control 34 in the neck of the plastic container F and expanded until the plastic container F hangs on the mandrel 18. At the same time the neck mold part 3, eg, by the removal element 16, is opened by means of unspecified curve controls until the retaining ring 31 of the plastic container F is free and the plastic container can be carried away. The neck molding 3 is then moved further in the open state or closed again and then re-introduced into a mold cavity 2 of an injection mold Ia, Ib, Ic.

Fig. 5 illustrates a detail of the spray rotor S with the shaft 6, which is rotatably mounted in a portal 38 and is rotatably driven via a control gear 35. The shaft 6 carries mold carrier 36 for the injection molds Ia, Ib, Ic of the injection molding unit 1. From each injection mold, the neck mold part 3 is shown in the mold cavity 2, and the

Injection opening 25 of the mold cavity, which is aligned with the injection mold Ia with an injection element 37 of the plasticizing screw P. Furthermore, a mandrel 20 is inserted from above through the neck molding part 3. To produce the preform R, the plasticized plastic is injected into the mold cavity 2, either from the plasticizing screw or by using an injection cylinder 42 explained with reference to FIG. 8. The rotation of the shaft 6 can be temporarily stopped while the injection rotor S continues to move rotates. The injection cylinder, not shown, could then together with the injection mold Ia about the axis of Rotate shaft 6 until the injection mold 1a has reached the reprint position II. Then, the shaft 6 is further rotated until the injection mold Ia has finally reached the transfer position III in Fig. 2 and is opened.

Fig. 6 illustrates analogous to Fig. 1 is a plan view of a second embodiment of the injection blow molding machine, which is characterized in that the transfer and removal motors T, E of Fig. 1 are superimposed in a rotor T combined, E, with a total of eight Pair of transfer and removal elements 8, 9, 15, 16 and the spikes 18 (not shown) is equipped, wherein the transfer and removal elements are not only extendable and retractable, but also can be pivotally. Curve controls K1, K2 are provided in the combined transfer and removal motor, with which an overrunning function can be performed in each case when the elements move from the injection rotor S to the blowing rotor B, and vice versa.

The transfer and removal elements 9, 16 are each a pair of brackets, for example. In the overtaking function, for example, during the transfer from the injection rotor S to Blasrotor B overtravels due to the function of the cam control Kl the first trailing in the direction of rotation staple 16 the leading bracket 9 once, so that finally the bracket 16 in the direction of rotation in front of the bracket 9 at the open blow mold 11th arrives and the finished plastic container F with his neck molding 3 takes before the then trailing bracket 9 a neck mold part 3 and a preform R transferred to the blow mold 11. Similarly, the cam control K2 controls once a Überholfunktion on the removal path between the Blasrotor B and the injection rotor S. The first trailing in the direction of rotation staple 9 passes the neck mold part 3 with the plastic container F holding other clip 16 of the pair, so that the empty clip 9 arrives ahead of the open mold cavity 2 in order to remove the neck mold part 3 with the preform R before the clamp 16 then removed from the plastic container F arrives at the mold cavity 2 with the neck mold part 3. Each plastic container F is here removed by the mandrel 18, not shown, after opening the neck molding 3 and fed to the discharge conveyor 19. The neck mold part 3 is closed, for example by the clamp 16, before it is introduced into the open injection mold, Ia, Ib, Ie of the injection molding unit 1 located in the transfer position III.

Fig. 7 illustrates schematically a blow mold 11 with a blow mold carrier 39 and the blow mold halves 12, 13 in the open state. The bottom mold 14 is in the mold carrier

39 positioned, as well as the neck molding 3 with the guide cone 29. The nozzle 40 is attached directly to the neck mold part 3, as soon as the neck mold part 3 is closed and locked. This can be done at the tuyere

40 and / or on the neck molding 3 corresponding, unspecified highlighted connection and sealing means may be provided.

Finally, FIG. 8 once again illustrates the closed injection mold 1a of the injection molding unit 1 in the injection rotor S during cooperation with the plasticizing screw P and the injection molding cylinder 42 in order to fill the mold cavity 2 with injection-molded plastic through the injection opening 25 and to produce the preform R. The mold halves (only the Mold half 5 is indicated) of the injection mold Ia are contained in a mold carrier 41, with which in this embodiment the guide cone 29 of the neck molding part 3 cooperates. For fixing the guide cone 29, a corresponding receiving groove 26 'is formed in the mold carrier 41. The upper guide cone 28 for the transfer and removal elements is exposed. The mandrel 20 is inserted into the mold cavity 2 until an annular flange 20 a of the mandrel 20 is seated on top of the neck mold part 3.

The injection cylinder 42 includes an example hydraulically actuated metering piston 45 in a cylinder tube 43 which is inserted into the mold carrier 41 and seals on the injection mold Ia on the underside. The metering piston 45 is retracted to a lower loading position before the plasticizing screw P introduces plasticized plastic material through an inlet 46 into a metering chamber 44. Thereafter, the piston 45 is moved upward until it closes the inlet 46 and presses a preset dose into the mold cavity 2. In this case, the inlet 46 is temporarily sealed until the piston 45 is moved back down at a later time. The injection cylinder 42 can remain attached to the reprint position II of the injection mold Ia. Then either the mold carrier 41 is raised slightly, or the injection cylinder 42 is lowered slightly before the injection mold Ia is further rotated about the shaft 6.

Due to the continuous process sequence, the time duration is the same for each preform until it is introduced into the blow mold after its production. The preform has a sufficiently long residence time in the spray rotor S, in order to be optimally formed, pressed and relaxed, and to achieve an optimum temperature or temperature distribution in the preform. Optionally, this or at a later stage is cooled or thermally conditioned. Such a thermal conditioning of the preform could also be carried out during the movement along the transfer rotor T into the blow mold. The preform R comes at no time with other manipulating elements in contact, since the neck molding 3 has to fulfill not only mold functions in injection molding and stretch blow, but also the transfer and removal functions, and even possibly the connection function for the nozzle 40 and the Aufsetzfunktion for the Mandrel 20. With each blow, as usual, it is stretched and preflashed after start, and blown out only after the blower rotates. For opening and closing the brackets curve guides may be provided, or other aids. Since the blowing rotor and the injection rotor can run essentially equally fast, the movement of the transfer and removal motors is smooth and even. At least theoretically, it would be possible to install eight different blow molds which can produce plastic containers of different sizes, since each blow mold is, so to speak, supplied from its own injection molding unit 1, which produces the preform in accordance with the requirements in the blow mold.

An increase of the variant is also possible if not only eight different blow molders are used, but also different threaded inserts (neck moldings) are used. Overall, a much more flexible production is possible, since own (odd) shapes (for example, square containers made of angular preforms) can be produced.
